The Emperor Crawling Out of the Grave

The old man picked up a tea bowl, filled it with soup and medicine, and brought it to Xiao Chen.

Looking at Xiao Chen, the old man smiled kindly, "Little guy, drink up, your injuries will heal soon."

Xiao Chen looked suspiciously at the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox next to him.

The nine-tailed demon fox nodded, and talked about the ins and outs of the matter.

In fact, it was very simple, that is, after the sun had completely risen, the old man appeared and brought them back to this thatched hut, who were seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Xiao Chen took the tea bowl and blew gently on it.

Liusu Mingyue flapped her little transparent wings, drooling as she looked at the bowl in Xiao Chen's hand.

Seeing Liusu Mingyue's naive look, Xiao Chen's mood immediately improved.

"Take a sip?" Xiao Chen stretched out the tea bowl to Liusu Mingyue's mouth.

"Hmph!" Liusu Mingyue rubbed her red and swollen eyes, pouted her lips, and turned her head away.

Xiao Chen shook his head with a smile, this girl was probably angry with him again.

Xiao Chen poured down the black soup in one gulp, and when the soup entered his mouth, he instantly felt comfortable all over his body, and his whole body felt a little elated.

"Thank you." Xiao Chen nodded slightly to the old man.

"It's okay, it's just a matter of raising your hands." The old man sighed, and took the tea bowl from Xiao Chen's hand.

Looking at the hunched back of the old man, Xiao Chen felt a little sad for no reason, "What do you call the old man?"

The old man sat back on the bench, took out a pipe, and smoked it.

Light blue smoke curled up, making the old man's face look unreal.

The old man tapped the cigarette stick lightly on the stool, looked at the sunlight outside the house and said nostalgicly: "The old man in the mountain, long, long ago, everyone called me that."

The owner of the ancestral tree, this answer is unexpected, but it is also reasonable.

Xiao Chen nodded and asked: "What is going on in this world? Also, what do you mean by those two sentences you wrote?"

"I'm ashamed to say it." The old man sighed again, "I still haven't figured out what's going on in this world."

"As for those two sentences, hehe..." The old man smiled miserably when he said this.

"Is this the best place?" The old man's hand holding the cigarette pole suddenly had bruises and his face was full of anger.

"This is indeed the best place. Every creature who comes here will have the right to live forever."

Eternal life, a topic that will never be outdated in the mouths of practitioners, hides so many taboos and great horrors, but there is really eternal life here.

"Then what does it mean that this is the worst place?" Nine-Tailed Demon Fox asked with a puzzled face.

The old man's expression calmed down, he shook his head lightly and said: "You have already experienced it yourself, you will lose everything except eternal life when you come here."

"Lose everything, and then you can only watch your body grow old day by day, but the body does not die."

"You will no longer be able to practice, you will become a mortal, you will feel lonely, lonely and hungry."

Speaking of this, the old man's body trembled slightly.

"There is almost nothing to eat here, and we can only endure endless hunger and loneliness. Immortality is bestowed with a body that will not die. We can't starve to death at all. Suicide has become a luxury."

"Because even if you turn into ashes, you will be resurrected one day and endure the endless hunger and loneliness again."

The nine-tailed demon fox's face was pale, this is not eternal life, it is simply a curse.

Watching my body age day by day, my skin becomes wrinkled, my hair becomes thinner, my joints become stiff, my eyes become cloudy, I suffer from hunger and loneliness.

How terrifying it is to endure the endless destruction of the spiritual world by this world.

Xiao Chen nodded, "This is the price of eternal life."

The old man also nodded, "It's not worth it."

"Then how did you survive?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.

The old man's mental state is not bad, and his body is not bad. Xiao Chen doesn't believe that a person can spend such endless years of loneliness with a mortal body without going crazy.

Xiao Chen is an active person, if Xiao Chen is allowed to stay at home by himself for a few months, without any entertainment, and endures hunger, Xiao Chen feels that he will definitely become mentally ill, let alone spend endless years here up.

The old man pointed to the enlightenment tea tree outside the door, with a smile on his face.

"It was the ancestral tree that helped me. Before the old man went crazy, he entered the trunk of the ancestral tree and slept forever. He would wake up occasionally. I remember that the last time I woke up, I met a young man who strayed here. The old man Give the young man a bowl of tea."

Xiao Chen nodded, the matter of the ancestor of the Mo family was on track.

Xiao Chen suddenly felt something was wrong again, and asked, "Since you know this is hell, why did you tell that young man the opening time of Destiny's Heaven?"

Previously, the Patriarch of the Mo family told himself the specific time and place when the Kingdom of Destiny opened.

Since the news was left by the ancestor of the Mo family, it means that the news was probably told by the old man in front of him.

The old man shook his head: "The old man never told that young man."

"Then where did the ancestor of the Mo family get the news?" Xiao Chen frowned.

The old man thought for a while and explained: "The conditions for the opening of the Kingdom of Destiny are traceable. If you are proficient in numerology and deduction, there is a great chance that you will be able to capture the opening time and place of the Kingdom of Destiny."

Xiao Chen nodded, the reason made sense.

Then Xiao Chen looked outside, seeing that the sun was just right, he turned over and got out of bed, ready to go outside to bask in the sun.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox hurried up to support Xiao Chen, and said with a distressed expression: "Don't go out."

Xiao Chen waved his hand: "It's okay, the old man's medicine is very useful."

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had no choice but to help Xiao Chen outside.

Sitting on a rock basking in the sun, Xiao Chen asked, "How did those people become like that ghost?"

The people Xiao Chen was talking about were nothing but the black shadows he met last night.

After Xiao Chen dissected the scene last night, he found that those black shadows were actually people.

That's right, it's not a monster, but a living person.

The old man sat next to Xiao Chen with a pot of brewed tea.

"Ah!" The old man sighed, poured Xiao Chen a bowl of tea, and said softly, "It's just crazy."

Xiao Chen gently smelled the fragrance of tea, shook his head: "No, it's not just as simple as being crazy."

The old man froze for a moment, a little at a loss: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Chen took a sip of tea lightly and said, "They are evolving, evolving into another species."

"Evolution?" The old man was a little confused, he didn't quite understand what Xiao Chen meant.

Xiao Chen smiled, "This place is very interesting."
